This beautiful pocket self-help book teaches us to notice three-second glimmers of joy every day, to build resilience and deal with difficult times.

In difficult times it's easy to get lost in the darkness – but this beautiful pocket self-help book gives us the tools to find three-second glimmers of joy every day, to build our resilience and keep us going.

Did you just taste something delicious? That was a glimmer. Notice the way the light slanted in through the window? That was a glimmer.

Glimmers are easy to miss as they’re so brief and fleeting, but they can help your mood shift, and lift. Finding them – uncovering them on the commute, or while doing the same-old daily routine – is an art and a skill. Looking for glimmers is a recognized mental health practice to enable you to deal with the darkest days.

In this book, 12 thematic chapters each hold 30 or 31 beautiful glimmers plus two aligned alternatives, amounting to one entry for every day of the year – and more than 1,000 glimmers. Learn to notice micro-moments of joy such as putting on a pair of new socks, stroking a purring cat, popping a cork, walking up a hill and looking back at how far you've come, finishing a jar, watching a rainbow brighten, sinking your hands into earth, being told "no rush", reviving a dying fire, and hundreds more.

With beautiful line-drawn illustrations, exercises to help you uncover more joy, and reflections on the history and effects of glimmers, this fun, fresh book is small enough to pop in your bag – but big enough to expand your life.
